For example, drow elves are an optional race in every edition of D&D, but I've never turned down nor been turned down form playing one. Technically, it's an exception to play a non-evil drow, but PCs are always exceptional. I don't think I've ever said or heard say "sorry, but you can only be a drow if you're a CE demon worshipper." Yet for all those non-evil drow, nobody has ever stopped viewing drow primarily as antagonists. The lore didn't suffer. Why? Because the heroic drow are still wildly outnumbered by the non-pc evil drow. They are still exceptions.That all said, I wonder how many people here would accept a game where races MUST abide by the alignment section of thier race. It's a racial trait according to Max, so what if elves MUST be CG, dwarves LG, tieflings LE and half-orcs CN? Humans, of course, could be any alignment due to having no specific tendency.</blockquote>
